• 92YTribeca has added a screening of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, actor John Krasinki’s adaptation of the David Foster Wallace book, on Mon., Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
• That same night, says New York magazine, Locanda Verde launches “a series of four family-style Monday-night dinners called Fried Chicken Live in the restaurant’s back room.” The $38 prix fixe southern menu includes a first course by a rotating guest chef, “including homemade bacon from Char No. 4‘s Matt Greco, Texas chili from the General Greene‘s Julie Farias.”
• On Sundays, kids under 12 eat free—pancakes at brunch, spaghetti and meatballs at dinner—at Petrarca (Church and White).
• The owner of 71 Reade, which collapsed in April, has put his brownstone at 9 W. 70th St. (left) on the market for $12 million, notes The New York Observer. “After 71 Reade’s collapse…the Times reported that owner Aharon Vaknin had been fined thousands over his walk-up’s stucco facade. He reportedly didn’t address a 2007 violation, ‘when inspectors discovered a 15-foot-long crack,’ and there had been five complaints in the month of the collapse alone. (To be fair, a building under construction next door was cited, too.)”
